Samai Kampot Pepper Rum is a first-of-its-kind, crafted with aromatic red Kampot pepper blended with carefully aged rum, creating a truly unique flavor profile. Aged up to three years and further matured for six months in stainless steel tanks, this rum is distilled using traditional copper pot stills and a column still.
The nose reveals a crisp, sweet aroma of fresh Kampot pepper, while the palate offers a well-balanced combination of spicy and sweet notes, with hints of guava and eucalyptus. The finish is characterized by the tanginess of red Kampot pepper, complemented by a building sweetness for a smooth, rounded conclusion.
This authentic taste of Cambodia can be enjoyed neat or in exceptional cocktails.
About Samai Distillery
Samai Distillery, established in 2014, is Cambodia's first premium rum producer, located in the heart of Phnom Penh. Founded by a team of passionate individuals, including master distiller Ms. Moang Darachampich, the distillery combines Latin American rum-making traditions with Asian roots to create handcrafted rums that reflect the richness of Cambodian terroir.
Samai sources high-quality, locally grown sugarcane to produce rich molasses, the base for all their premium rums. The production process involves traditional copper pot stills and column stills, allowing for a balance between flavorful, intense rums and smoother, lighter spirits.
Aging takes place in a variety of barrels, including French and American oak, ex-bourbon, and sherry casks, imparting unique characteristics to each rum. Samai Distillery has gained international recognition, with its rums winning numerous awards from competitions such as the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and the London International Spirits Challenge.
